Abstract
Mesenteric ischemia increases gut permeability and bacterial translocation. In human colon, chemical hypoxia induced by 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) activates basolateral intermediate conductance K+ (IK) channels (designated KCa3.1 or KCNN4) and increases paracellular shunt conductance/permeability (GS), but whether this leads to increased macromolecule permeability is unclear. Somatostatin (SOM) inhibits IK channels and prevents hypoxia-induced increases in GS. Thus, we examined whether octreotide (OCT), a synthetic SOM analogue, prevents hypoxia-induced increases GS in human colon and hypoxia-induced increases in total epithelial conductance (GT) and permeability to FITC-dextran 4000 (FITC) in rat colon. The effects of serosal SOM and OCT on increases in GS induced by 100 µM DNP were compared in isolated human colon. The effects of OCT on DNP-induced increases in GT and transepithelial FITC movement were evaluated in isolated rat distal colon. GS in DNP-treated human colon was 52% greater than in controls (P = 0.003). GS was similar when 2 µM SOM was added after or before DNP treatment, in both cases being less (P <0.05) than with DNP alone. 0.2 µM OCT was equally effective preventing hypoxia-induced increases in GS, whether added after or before DNP treatment. In rat distal colon, DNP significantly increased GT by 18% (P = 0.016) and mucosa-to-serosa FITC movement by 43% (P = 0.01), and 0.2 µM OCT pre-treatment completely prevented these changes. We conclude that OCT prevents hypoxia-induced increases in paracellular/macromolecule permeability and speculate it may limit ischemia-induced gut hyperpermeability during abdominal surgery, thereby reducing bacterial/bacterial toxin translocation and sepsis.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology publishes original articles pertaining to all aspects of research involving normal or abnormal function of the gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system, and pancreas. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts dealing with growth and development, digestion, secretion, absorption, metabolism, and motility relative to these organs, as well as research reports dealing with immune and inflammatory processes and with neural, endocrine, and circulatory control mechanisms that affect these organs.
